The Alex Panton Foundation in partnership with Partnership for Children a UK based non profit organization is pleased to offer a  school based programme for children to help them develop skills to communicate effectively, cope with anxieties.

How do I get Zippy in my child's school?

If you or your school is interested in participating in the Emotional Literacy Programme, please contact your principal and have them reach out to us. We have master trainers on island who can support training and on-going implementation. We value the opportunity to work with schools across the Cayman Islands to enhance the mental health of children by teaching and building resilience, increasing empathy and cooperation, reducing bullying and improving classroom climate.
